Looking Back for the Future | GoozerNation

Every year there's a cry from the gaming community for more original IPs. Generally, I am among the throng of vocal gamers hoping for something more inspired than, "run from point A to point B while shooting everything that moves," but every few years there are some sequels that get me more excited than any original IP could. This year a couple of games are really getting me pumped up: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception.

Haven't played them? Looking for some nostalgia? Read on.

Colosseum for Android Announcement and Screenshots | GoozerNation

Gamevil is on a roll lately. Games like Zenonia 3 and Baseball Superstars II being released for free on the Android Marketplace (and being great games) have really bolstered their reputation in my mind.

What makes FPSs Fun? | GoozerNation

Competitive multiplayer used to hold very little value to me as a gamer. I was always much more interested in the single player experience and RPGs were the best providers of that. As the technology of each new console generation moves forward other genres better embrace the grandiose storylines and complex characters that RPGs made popular. There were, and definitely are now, genre bending games like Deus Ex that really sunk their hooks into me. But the biggest impact I've seen are the level up mechanics implemented in competitive fragfests. This has given me a reason to be excited about playing First Person Shooters but also makes me wonder what makes them so fun.

Want to know what I discovered? Of course you do.
